Did you know that almost half of YVR’s revenue comes from non-aeronautical sources? That’s right. Non-aeronautical revenue is an important part of our business model because it helps to offset costs and keeps fees low for our partners. This includes the sales of our award-winning BORDERXPRESS kiosks, parking and of course, McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Centre of which Vancouver Airport Authority holds a 50% investment.

McArthurGlen is right next to the airport. A three-minute walk from Templeton Station, the Canada Line is a quick and convenient way to reach the Designer Outlet. If you haven’t stopped by yet, the centre has become one of the top performing malls in Canada. Designer brands include Coach, Kate Spade, Michael Kors, Nike, and more with discounts of up to 70%. A new phase is also scheduled to open in Spring 2019, delivering 84,000 square feet of additional retail space and up to 35 new luxury, premium and lifestyle brands.

So, as we get into the holiday spirit, there's much to see and do at the Designer Outlet as one of Vancouver’s top rated festive spots—thousands of lights, giant Nutcrackers, a life-size bauble wall and one of the city’s most impressive Christmas trees at 55 feet tall.
